The C-M-a and C-M-a works good. Wonder why I got wrong key combinations in help. By the way is there some kind of keyboard shortcut which can help me go to the place where a variable was first defined? For example if I have a variable called varName and I use it at several locations. Now if I see it somewhere and can't remember where it was defined, I could just put my point on it and press the key combination and go to the line where it is first used/ defined. I looked up the help but could not get it in C-h m. Happy hacking. Krishnakant.
